Owner & Creative Director of Daniel Meloché Design: Daniel Meloché
Daniel Meloché
— President of VSID
Daniel Meloché is an award-winning Registered Interior Designer (RID) and NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally raised in Calgary, Daniel relocated to Vancouver over twenty years ago as an aspiring interior designer. Shortly afterwards, he enrolled at The Art Institute of Vancouver's Interior Design and Foundations program and graduated top of his class. With now over 17 years of experience in the design, he has focused on the hospitality and residential sectors of the design industry.
Daniel believes in giving back to the design community through mentorship programs and volunteering on various design societies. For the last eight years he has been the volunteer President of Vancouver Society of Interior Designers (VSID), helping to organize educational and networking events within the design community. He also avidly works with students and up and coming designers to provide guidance and experience on their projects, portfolios and finding work within the industry. He has always said there can be success in beautiful design, but there is no better reward then passing on his experience and knowledge to others within the design community.
Daniel is an avid traveller, pulling much of his design inspirations from his life experiences. As a solo team working out of his home office, Daniel really enjoys being involved in all aspects of the design process, including the initial concept, detailed drafting, contract administration and the final touches in each space. His design aesthetic is focussed on functional and conversational spaces infused with playful and whimsical elements. His designs cater to each client's unique requirements through careful space planning and highly detailed execution, down to the final curation of the environment.
